- Brian Houston says Bobbie never received a $6,350 Cartier watch using church money. We've got the receipt.
Brian says the mission of Hillsong is to do the work of the Kingdom. So long as that involves spending $8000 at Disneyland.
Phil says Hillsong's culture has changed with a new gifts and honorariums policy. But the whole enterprise is based on self-dealing, and most of the same people are still in charge.
Now that Hillsong's accounts are in the public domain, the biggest question now is, why would you give them your money?
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
So very true. ✝️
We are in the last days where saving souls is top priority.These pastors have the money and opportunity other pastors dream about to reach the lost .....so sad
I remember growing up I used to love Hillsong but then I’d hear my dad say this church is more like a concert than a church that is supposed to be reaching souls for Christ.
I use to listen to their songs, but not anymore. 😢I will not be deceived by pretenders.
I think if your church has a real group of godly teachers, then it's OK to put on what some might see as a "concert", in order to lure in those that wouldn't come to church otherwise. Without a plan to identify and connect with those newcomers though, there is no point.
"Lure" like a predator?
Dad's are wise 😥🩵
It's true, a young Christian may as well go to a secular Rock concert . Than go to 5his church .
A 6500 $us watch is impossible to justify before God I am really sorry especially when according to the UN there are 8500 kids dying from starvation every day across the Globe
They couldn't give a stuff it's about the here and now for them. I have seen poverty in 3rd world countries people begging for food in the hot sun. I have seen homeless children without shelter starving. Houston and his cohorts will be judged by the almighty. As for Hillsong I doubt a Leopold will ever change its spots.
And the Pope has a solid gold throne encrusted with precious stones
Evil hates itself so much, that sometimes it tries hiding in the light. These are simply workers for the devil, masquerading as saints.
The pastor shouldn’t have authority to spend the church’s money. That’s not his job.
Exactly
I'm sure their was a board meeting 😉. The church is within the people of the church. Any building, which there are people who seek to gain power, will universally be corrupted. The power lies in the holy spirit, not in the leaders of an organization.
Must have got a bonus for casting out gay demons?
@@gginternational.8868and they shouldn't know who and how much people give tithe went out with the levites in the temple we are now GODS TEMPLE and we give with joyful hearts or not at all and done let the left hand know what the right hand is doing no envelopes and numbers GOD WANTS US 100% our love for THE FATHER JESUS AND HOLY SPIRIT AND FOR ONE ANOTHER and sad to say that's what's lacking in most congregations today it's money rules money preached and the biggest tithers run them no matter their characters knowledge of word or living it or even BORN AGAIN . GOD SAYS BE A FAITHFUL STEWARD OF WHAT HE GIVES US AND THAT INCLUDES OUR FINANCIAL GIVING .❤😮🙈🙉🙊🙏🙏🙏🤔❤️
I miss the old Hillsong where Darlene was the worship leader. Now I came to realize why Darlene step off few years ago
Was she blind....or just there for the money, affirmation mirroring and power like all the others.
@@debzest4life37 possibly under the same pressure Geoff Bullock was to perform, write more songs for the 'empire'.
When a church, any church and it's pastors, any pastors, are worshipped more than Jesus, it is idolatry.
We all have to be careful of that.
It's NOT and never has been, about 'the church' or the Brians, Bobbies, Joyce, Phil, Benny, Kenneth, Margaret C, joel, etc etc etc.
IF IT IS NOT ABOUT JESUS then it is idolatry.
I think she was probably eased out of her position to make way for a younger more sexy woman. - Brooke. Gotta keep the show looking it's best you know?
Have you ever noticed that 90% of the people in the worship teams everywhere, that they are all young hip, trendy, good looking people?
Its entertainment - not church.
@@ianhinrichsendrummer2113 Sure have noticed....60 Minutes documentaries have exposed this....happens at nearly every church....not just the pure entertainment ones...but it is the peoples desires also setting the agenda.....they love to worship money, power, looks....it is a very competitive environmnet and ruthless if you don't look good.
@@AnnieGrace777 It makes me sick how people put the pastors on a pedestal.
Every evil action does come out in the Light.
I don't understand how those who do such things think
they will not be held accountable for their choices.
God has the FINAL Word!
One will reap what they sow!
You don't rob God!
something is major wrong with Mr. Houston, I wrote him a while back about a matter of evil, asking what should God do??? neither him or his wife or his staff would answer me, all they could say was I needed counselling ..... from then I knew they had major problems! and now look at this, God is not asleep.
The LOVE of MONEY is the route to all kinds of EVIL
There is a really simple test for all Christians: "does this line up with Scripture, yes or no?" I've personally been really blessed by some of the worship albums (although this was many many years ago back when Darlene was the Worship Pastor), but as for the rest of this church - the behaviours, the "prosperity" teaching, etc, so so much of it is not Biblical!! The more I hear, the more I'm saddened that leaders can be so greedy and followers can be so blind.
Prosperity teaching? The exact same thing happened to buddhism, all through china they have a kind of buddhism with all this money and prosperity stuff that is basically MADE UP it's not part of Gautama Buddha's teachings! They have " money gathering incense " I dont recall Buddha doing anything like that in any text.
That's what hillsong looks like
All of us have to beware of idolatry.
Never listened to Hillsong.Didnt even know a darn thing about it.
!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!
I’ve always liked the songs but not the vibes the preachers gave, prosperity gospel is not the gospel 😢
Amen!
Down fall of many, Love of money
Haha, it's always just a matter of time before the truth comes out!
Its an ATM for brian...a church to the blinded people...
They are good manipulators.
I heard a pastor say once " I shamed them into giving".
God heard him too.
Father God Loves You All ❤️
Ohhh, this would be so awesome: get a shirt custom made, that said, the church isnt a rock concert, and wear that at that church in CO, and hopefully, people would be receptive to it! 😁
The church cannot save you the pastor cannot save you. The congregation cannot save you. You cannot save yourself,what are you going to do. You're salvation Is your personal relationship with your Lord Jesus Christ everyday in your life. Don't be deceived for Jesus said that many shall come in thy name. Jesus said that his father's house was a house of prayer only. It is not about money. For you cannot buy your way into heaven. Did Jesus ask for money? No.
Money is always the most important thing to be honest and modest about. Pastors should always remember that it is ordinary, average people who give the money, not millionaires or even God and that they should live like average and not like princes or rock stars.
I recently left a church because the pastor, a green card alien from Australia, showed Hillsong worship service songs as specials from UA-cam as part of the service. When I found out about Hillsong, I gave my letter of resignation. The pastor, strangely enough, did not try to win me back. I wonder why. 🤔 🇺🇸 ✝️
Aussies no surprises there.
Little unhappy judge ] itching ears] as the word says]
Will believe anything re God called believe any malicious rumor re God called, dedicated men n women of God
Theh😢 rxso misled
Shame that they have no mercy n understanding 😢😅
Make them give back every cent or big jail time for all of them...thou shall not steal.
Goodluck brother on taking on this one
As Sir Thomas More said to master Rich when he lied in court to said More to be executed " what are the chains of office you wear ? He replied Wales .More retorted "Wales , the whole world isn't worth your soul " .More is the patron saint of the judiciary and stood firm against Henry the Vlll.
This ‘church’?!?!???? is now known as HELLSING…
Simply...LEAVE... and don't ever go back.
Sadly because of these churches the true children of God no longer goes to Church
But they haven't left The Lord Jesus Christ. ✝️
The Way The Truth and The Life and no one comes to The Father except through HIM ✝️
John 14:6
Exactly. I gave up years ago, because I can't find a real church anymore.
I might not go to an organized religious house of worship but I still worship God in the wilderness in the national forest in Vermont and many times lately people even show up and praise God with me. No organization, no set times, God is in total control...
You all need to listen to my gospel. I am the way, as God reveals the truth to me.
We are in a last day 😊 it will happen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 let us pray for this😊
This is so shame full.and it puts out a bad name for the true Christians and my Jesus.
The worships songs are nice however, but what happened here is digusting
God never meant for the pastor of a church to have control over finances and decisions for the church. That is the responsibility of the appointed elders, men of age with Godly wisdom to shepherd the members. If your church does not have elders (numbers depending on size) which meet the scriptural qualifications, then it is not following the Biblical example set in the Nee Testament.
Agree with you generally but Houston himself is hardly an immature teenager
@@observersnt Age is only one of the many requirements for the office of elder. These men are to have oversight over the pastor so that one man does not have too much control. Apparently, Hillsong's pastor is lacking in a number of scriptural requirements!
@@Wanda4849 totally agree. It was “ men of age,” that I responded to. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I understand that age should bring maturity and integrity but some times the more experience people have, the more they can abuse situations. But I completely agree with you
CANNOT Serve Our Lord GOD and Money:( Thank You to Those TRUE Pastors of the Church, Such as Rick & Kay Warren, Who Did NOT Even Draw a Salary for Many, Many YEARS!!!
Women aren't supposed to be pastors.
@@jica4141Exactly. Thank you.
Phone oh oh
Perhaps buy what wierd theology does( feel good Ricky espouse????..
Tickles ir ears buy not biblical
Shocker.
Shall not tithe, BUT I will give of my time for those in need.
INVESTIGATE THEM ALL.
THEY ALL DO IT!
Jesus told ,they are trade my word, but Jesus told too a punishment for this!!!!
People sin! Let’s be careful that we live up to Christ’s example without taking Satans side as the accuser of the brethren! A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Avoid wokeism personally and pray fervently for our failing Christian family!
How awful for the Christians who give their tithes to the Lord 😂
We're in the days where the media has lost its roots of unbias reporting. A classic case is Oprah Winfrey interview with Harry and Meaghan. The media makes accusations, but let's hear the other side of the story. Lindy Chamberlain all over again. Most of the media has become gutter reporting IMO.
Add ... I didnt hear the last part. If this is correct, then this is of a more serious nature. But, things need to be proven.
This is why Marty Simoms left. Hypocrites of faith.
Stupid people throwing money away. Have they read the Bible to see through the BS.
They were conned, thinking their donations used for worthy cause???
In the Church, I See Jesus Christ not Pastors.
That's it
That is a lot of money…
Carnival huckster masquerading as a man of God
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT US ALL NOW AND ALWAYS FROM SATANS EVIL LYING FALSE PASTORS PHROPHETS TEACHERS LEADERS AND ALL SATANIC FALSE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE GOD IS THE ONE TRUE HOLY RIGHTEOUS JUDGE WE MUST ALL FACE IN THE END GOD CANNOT BE FOOLED OR BEATEN I PRAISE GOD AMEN 🙏❤️
This is really a disgrace to Christianity! 😢😢
I can answer your question simply: “why would you give them your money?” God uses ALL things for His purposes, not just the good things. This is because He is that GOOD,
Mankind will never be perfect this side of Heaven, but humankind can learn from mistakes and grow. Isn’t that good news? Even you can grow.
To the people who run this business, you suggesting your business is without ethical dilemmas? Should we “cancel” you for that reason. Of course not. The world is too big to adopt your small mindedness. God is big and will use ALL things for His purposes. Clearly Hillsong still has impact and it’s because God uses all things 😉
My friends look to the messiah not to men, Don't allow your ears to be tickled. Sound Doctrine is necessary for sound salvation.
1:40 dude with play swords, helmet and game controller isn't convincing me lol
Investigate all bug churches. They all do this! This is not new
Sir this d.dthomas Pastor family's past life , he was working , roaming as a politician just right hand for lot of political leaders , he was adopted by a brahmin lady and then grew in his house , he went and grew for more than 29 years without spending single penny that is the lady who adopted d.d thomas Pastor itself is an orphan lady , din have children , like this only his child hood time moved, at once in the blue moon he used to go to jail and return by using a criminal lawyer, then slowly , he started to worship indian hindu deities and started to be chanting mantras in various hindu temples , then only by a knife snabled incident only he was prisoned in jail , got salvation from jesus christ , today he is infront of you in UA-cam channel as a blood relation family , close relationship with shoba's family. Their are bonded together like a molecule and an atom. Or for example: like clouds and raindrops . (Their collided together like this) mutually benefited to each other
Sir excuse me jailer barnie and bobbie is there?aaaa
Brother, why do you have a skeleton emblem behind you by the headphones? Guys, we must be aware of our surroundings and pictures, etc
Do nate please... we need to go to restaurants, buy new cars, a wee plane, Homes and other things.
Hellsong its where you need to go
How dare they peddle the name of the lord for filthy lucre!
Disneyland
no longer Christisn and not family place!
Is about money and not about Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior. Already stop giving money to these, “ money making organizations,”
Why don’t you cover instead how Hillsong church helped thousands of people spiritually and financially both National and international and connects with different charity organisations ? And you will be surprised how much the Hillsong church $$$$$$$$$ spent to bless other people. Thank you.
If you don’t like it…..don’t go.
To be fair, it’s pretty easy to spend $8000 at Disney.
Yeah other people's money.
If you do a big dig into what Disney is into these days, especially if you have been following the news about US Florida governor DeSantis, you will find, as I have, that Disney is doing ungodly things to children. What is Hillsong doing even giving one red cent to Lucifer??? 🤔
I think every pasyor is like that nothing new.
The honorable Brian Houston was [ thru world-wide ministery] leading millions upon millions, of precious, kisy😂 souls to Jesus
Who did this make unhappy, n anger??????
Tea,u guessed it Satan
So come the big smear n fabricationsxn condemnation
So sad that ao many would fall for this
He must step down as pastor. Church does not belong to him belongs to god.... and distances him self from church go and find him self again he is lost to love of money and things of the world . He is not a happy person as it is god is punishing him .. he does not have peace in his soul. Find your self again son dont destroy the house of god
The only good that came out of Hillsong was Darlene ,they made millions out of her .
Ok, he spent too much in restaurants, but it is ok to bless others. This is dirty report, I dont judge him
That pastor's preachings never even make any sense. Even sole false pastors will put something straight when on stage but Brian Houston would just talk gibberish.
This is satan's plan to destroy Hillsong. A pastor can make a mistake. But this ministry has touched millions of souls. They are a blessing to us.
But it has broken the hearts of millions more for its treachery & deception.
I would like another shirt, too, go to that church another time, wearing the shirt, with the tattoo scripture!!! Hey!!! 😀😇
There spending up all that $$$$ the Lord can't spend it himself they figure, and the poor ....who cares!!
Hit the Cartier store!!
An expensive circus with a business model to Rort money
God doesnt need your money and he doesnt reside in organised religion....go into nature ....be with the animals.....study the origins of religion
The gullible that are so easily seduced and can’t tolerate real Christianity so need to import secular entertainment into the church to make it more palatable and further erode the distinctions between the sacred and the secular are every bit as responsible for the shame that is Hillsong but will never be HIS song.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding Proverbs 9:10
"The 666 man will come out of the church and announce he is a homosexual at a pageant." God and Jesus (see Daniel 11:37 in the Douay-Rheims Holy Bible; next closest KJV)
Geeeeeez nobody gay or in drag? No Demicrats?
No never lol
If Pastor made mistakes, We should corrected them.
Church's Problem must be solve by Church too. DON'T LET OUTSIDER COME TO DESTROY YOUR CHURCH
Look, we need to be good Godly stewards, but I thought it was gonna be a lot worse than 8k at Disney and a few hundred at Nobu… anybody that takes their kids to Disney better plan on dropping around 10k and Nobu is a one time deal unless you’re Howard Stern who eats there every night. So…
The difference is they were using money given to God, for His purposes.
@@jica4141 I agree it’s bad, but I’m just saying think about our own churches…. A lot of people complained about stuff they spent money on at my church, but I wanted cool lighting effects and better sound.. I know our pastor is gonna go on vacations,,, he’s got 4 daughters,, he put em all through college using tithes and offerings,, can you put 4 daughters through college w employers money, I cant.. it’s not fair, but … anyway, I’ve seen way worse… and beware of the media, they’re not our friends and are chomping at the bit to bring down any church that is spreading the gospel like Hillsong was. Their band had so many songs that brought people to Christ.
@@davidcloyd1296Music never has, nor could ever save people. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. Music is an aid to worship , but never the be all a d end all of worship. Also, most of these worship "stars" are nothing but rock star wannabees. How do I know? Coz I've been there, in many churches and played with scores of "worship" musicians. ALL of them are full of themselves, don't be fooled by the fake "I'm on fire for Jesus" rubbish.
Quick test:
Put the worship team in a seperate roon away from the stage, and then see in 6 months time how many are still playing? I bet one by one they'll find excuses not to play anymore? Why? Coz they love the stage and the attention. Nauseating.
Never again I've said to myself. Never again!
I couldn't agree with you more!! I've shown and tithed I am debt free it's not coincidental. I worked hard but lived hand to mouth then I learned to use the kingdom principles I'm debt free living comfortably. The word works people are lazy then they decide to attack the messenger... So what if she went to Disney they run Hillsong they should be paid they're the co founders how much does the executives get paid in the NHS or the MP's the Banks isn't that our money what about MSM what do they earn?? I smell a rat !!!
Why would a Christian want to go and support Disney?????
Yet youre all terrified of people in drag. HAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂
LoL.
Glad it wasn't MY tithe.
Come on he's the chosen one to con all the flock or should I say sheep, he's going to hell
HELLSONG. Houston we have a problem!
